US investing 'trillions' to fight wars for Israel: Scholar

The United
States is spending an “endless” amount of wealth and sacrificing human
lives to fight wars on behalf of Israel, a “disaster” for the American
people and US foreign policy, the co-founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth
says.

“America is now investing endless troops, endless time, endless
treasury, exceeding trillions of dollars now, in fighting wars for
Israel,” said James Henry Fetzer, who’s also an editor at Veterans Today and a retired professor in Madison, Wisconsin.
“This is a complete and total disaster for the American people
brought to us by none other than George W. Bush and especially Dick
Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld,” Fetzer told Press TV on Monday.
He went on to say that the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US were
contrived by the Bush administration “to get the United States engaged
in wars in the Middle East to destruct the modern Arab states that
served as a counterbalance to Israel’s domination of the entire region.”
Fetzer also contended that President Barack Obama’s recent
authorization to redeploy troops to Iraq to fight the ISIL terrorist
group is a “catastrophe for him personally and for the foreign policy of
the United States.”
On Friday, Obama authorized the deployment of up to 1,500 troops to
Iraq, approximately doubling the force the Pentagon has built up in the
country since June.
In 2003, the United States invaded Iraq in blatant violation of
international law and under the pretext of finding weapons of mass
destruction allegedly stockpiled by former Iraqi dictator Saddam
Hussein.
The US completed its withdrawal of military personnel in December 2011, after nearly nine years of war.
US warplanes have been conducting airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq
since early August. Some Western states have also participated in some
of the strikes in Iraq.
Since late September, the US and some of its Arab allies have been
carrying out airstrikes against ISIL inside Syria without any
authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate.
